Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Oatmeal Squares scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Emulsifiers (Vegetable Glycerine, Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavors): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Breakfast Cereal, this product is more processed than about 40% of the 9,419 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
